The NJIT EMBA

Program Objective

The NJIT EMBA is designed to prepare a new generation of technology savvy business leaders and entrepreneurs with the skills to succeed in an increasingly complex and competitive business environment. The curriculum prepares students to think strategically about business and technology.

Our philosophy of management education is based on relevance, practicality, and innovation. The EMBA is designed to meet these objectives while also meeting the needs of people working in challenging and demanding careers.

From the day we launched the EMBA, we recognized that one of the most important take-aways for students is knowledge that translates directly into the workplace. We build on past successes with directed study which refers to projects that link course concepts to work-related issues and problems that students face every day. These projects are guided by the instructor who also serves as a mentor and advisor.

There is a considerable difference between course contact hours and quality contact hours. The most common EMBA schedule consists of full-day classes (every other Friday and Saturday). Our extensive experience employing learning technologies led us to pioneer blended learning as a advanced model which combines a mixture of face-to-face classes, online interaction, and directed study.
